Model Concept 2 - PARTNERSHIP: Indigenous Community organizations generally have more trusting relationships with Indigenous community members for the same reasons that Indigenous health services are often more responsive to Indigenous community health needs. Thus, they can serve as important partners for both individuals and health service organizations, and help broker more positive relationships between Indigenous community members and non-Indigenous health service organizations. #minopimatisiwin #manitoba #health #Indigenous #partnership #relationships #community #respect
